Cameron Carr 

6’5 with length | Wing | Clean 3 and D Translation | Baylor

Arguably one of the most straightforward NBA 3 and D projections on this list, Cameron Carr checks almost every box teams look for in a modern wing. Carr is an athletic scoring wing that consistently impacts the game defensively. His wingspan and length make him a much bigger presence than his 6'5 listed height. Carr is a disruptor defensively and uses his athleticism to block shots both at the rim and on the perimeter.  For a wing of his size, his 1.5 blocks per game is very impressive. Carr even gets tip blocks on three point shooters, at a higher rate than most players in the country. Carr's offensive game works at the next level. He plays with speed, shoots off movement, and is great in transition. He averages  8.9 points per game and 5.8 rebounds per game while shooting 38.6% from beyond the arc. Carr can hit tough shots on the move, score off relocation, and punish closeouts finishing athletically at the rim. With his athletic profile shooting, and ability to play at NBA pace, Carr profiles as a 3 and D wing who could have a smooth transition from college to the NBA. 

Amari Allen  

6’8” | Freshman | Two Way Wing | Alabama

Allen is the most complete long term NBA wing of this group.  At 6’8, 205, he already has NBA size, moves like a guard, and can light it up from the outside. His mobility, and coordination stand out immediately. With a quick trigger Allen is shooting it 37% from beyond the arc and he is extremely efficient off the catch and shoot. What really separates him is that he’s not just a shooter, he can break defenders down off the dribble, make athletic plays at the rim, and make reads. Allen's offensive game translates well to the NBA given Alabama's high paced system, he runs the floor hard and plays great in transition and scores at high speeds. Defensively, Allen is a high level contributor averaging 1.2 steals per game and 7.5 rebounds. He uses his length well, stays engaged, and doesn’t shy away from physical play. The rebounding at his position is a major plus. The reason Allen projects so cleanly is that nothing about his game feels forced. He doesn’t rely on one skill to survive. If he continues to add strength and reps, he has a very real chance to become a high level two way NBA wing, the type every team wants and every lineup needs. First round talent is not an overstatement here.

Kowacie Reeves Jr.

6’7” | Wing | Elite Athlete - Catch and Shoot Threat | Georgia Tech

Kowacie Reeves is a 6’7, long, Elite athlete who impacts the floor on both ends. He’s a disruptive defender and a fearless downhill attacker with elite pop. On offense he’s taken a clear step forward year over year, currently shooting 38% from three on high volume (50-for-132), which has forced defenses to respect him as a perimeter threat. He thrives on his catch and shoot three and gets elevation on his jumper to shoot over defenders. Reeves uses his athleticism effectively rather than passively, he pressures defenses in transition, attacks closeouts, and plays with pace. Averaging 15 PPG and 1.1 steals per game, he fills a balanced two way role and contributes without being ball dominant.  At 6’7, his combination of size, shooting, and athleticism makes him difficult to ignore from an NBA evaluation standpoint. Reeves is still a bit raw but his rapid improvement should give NBA scouts a lot of hope of what he can become when under the roof of an NBA organization. If Reeves continues to be a reliable catch and shoot threat while leaning into his defensive role, he has the physical tools to develop into an NBA rotation wing. 

Isaiah Evans

6’6” | Wing | Long 3 and D Archetype | Duke

Isaiah Evans is the typical long 3 and D prototype in the modern NBA. At 6’6 with length and athleticism, he has the physical tools to guard multiple perimeter positions (1–3) and hold up in space. Defensively, he competes, uses his length well, and has the mobility teams look for on the wing.  On offense this year he started slow and his numbers have not fully reflected his ability nor matched his production last season, but he has started to really heat up and play like himself. He’s 12-21 from three in his last 3 games. He shot 41% from three last season and is shooting 36% this season. He’s had enough games where we have seen that Evans is clearly a reliable spot up shooter and we shouldn't expect anything else at the next level. What keeps Evans on NBA radars is role clarity. He doesn’t need the ball, understands spacing, and plays within himself. Evans profiles as a classic low maintenance NBA 3 and D role who can fit into multiple lineup types. His value rises directly with shooting consistency, but the defensive tools already translate.

Keyshawn Hall

6’7 | Wing | Well Rounded Producer | Auburn

Hall is a physically ready NBA wing with a true pro frame at 6’7, 225. He’s wide, strong, and plays through contact. On offense he’s a reliable high level producer, averaging 20 PPG while shooting 40% from three. His scoring comes from translatable actions, spot ups, attacking closeouts, and finishing through contact. He rebounds well for his position (6.8 RPG) and spaces the floor consistently. Hall is a proven and dependable wing defender. He uses strength to hold his ground, competes on every possession, and averages a steal per game. What separates Hall is that this is real production, not projection. He impacts both ends every night, fits cleanly into multiple lineup types, and doesn’t need development to find a role. That’s why a late first round grade makes sense. Wings with this body, shooting, and reliability tend to stick and outperform draft slots.
